Andris Nelsons and the BSO welcome violinist Gil Shaham, who has
been a frequent guest at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood since his
debut with the orchestra in 1993, for three concerts Thursday,
October 5-Saturday, October 7 featuring Tchaikovsky's sweepingly
passionate Violin Concerto. Opening the program is Moler by
American composer and former Tanglewood Music Center fellow Arlene
Sierra-a 2012 work inspired by the teeth-grinding habit brought out
in a composer by a looming deadline. Closing the concerts is
Rachmaninoff's 20th-century, hyper-Romantic Symphony No. 2.
